About Us

The World's 50 Best Vineyards is proud to reveal the annual ranking of the very best vineyard experiences on the planet, showcasing exceptional places to taste world-leading wines and learn about winemaking, and celebrating the incredible teams behind every establishment.

The World’s 50 Best Vineyards list is compiled from the votes of the more than 700-strong voting Academy, which includes renowned sommeliers, travel and wine tourism experts and wine trade specialists.

The World’s 50 Best Vineyards awards ceremony is the wine industry’s most anticipated night of the year and is an evening of international celebration. It brings together the best wine talent from around the globe, with a live countdown of the list, culminating in the announcement of The World’s Best Vineyard.

Incorporating modern architectural wonders, UNESCO-protected ancient cellars, Michelin-starred on-site restaurants, and small, family-run wineries where the owners conduct the tours, The World’s 50 Best Vineyards reflects the best winery and vineyard experiences around the globe.

Many of the wineries on the list also offer something a little different – such as a horse-drawn vintage carriage tour through the vineyard, tapas amid a collection of beautifully restored classic cars, art from the likes of Pablo Picasso, and lessons in cooking on an open fire. 

The 2024 edition of The World's 50 Best Vineyards was unveiled on 4 November at an awards ceremony in Sussex, UK. The programme returns with an event programme held in Margaret River, Australia, in partnership with Tourism Western Australia in 2025.

The World's 50 Best Vineyards is part of the 50 Best brand, published by William Reed. Read more about 50 Best here.
